BENNETT BANNER • FEBRUARY 16, 2001 • 3 NEWS • FEATURES • NEWS • FEATURES • NEWS Basketball Belles face media scrutiny BY KEISHA STOUTE Sports Reporter Despite the nationwide scrutiny by ESPN, SportsCen- ter, and The Greensboro News & Record, the Bennett Belles are on a full-force mission. Although they scored a measly 3 points, which was the lowest point total in NCAA his tory against Peace College, in a match that finished 98-3, the Belles are still determined. The basketball team remained strong, and was given encouragement by President, Gloria Scott, in an ACES pro gram. Each member of the bas ketball team was given a bou quet of red roses and a standing ovation by the student body, faculty, and staff. The Belles continued to play hard with support, perse verance, and prayers. During the ACES, Scott said, "Winning is not everything. It’s about try ing your best and having fun. Here at Bennett College, we emphasize academics and sis terhood.” After the loss, the Belles began to make drastic changes, scoring more that usual and according to one player, "stepping up our intensi ty level." They traveled to Atlanta, Ga. to play Agnes Scott College and Spelman College. The team had plenty of support from spectators from Morehouse College (our brother school). Morehouse students came to both games, ringing bells, and cheering for the team. Though the Belles lost both games, the team never gave up. After all the negative publicity and comments, the Belles won a victory against Trinity Col lege, 47 - 37. Two team mem bers, Lakeisha Powell, and Keisha Stoute tied for team high honors, each scoring 11 points. All their hard work was not in vain, and the Belles Bas ketball was rejuvenated, just in time for a home game in Ida Goode Gymnasium, which will be Feb. 19 at 7 pm. Stoute is a member of the Bennett College Basketball Team. FRIEND IVI. vdi 3 ttitnd bang K wii never ,mdcrsui.-i •!« un; :o i... r.vd.i it hcip ngh; dt ABIS: .n. «nd wu i, Jon'; r.-o ,&r hvt ig.

Sure, we all go to the Gap sometimes, but try to make your wardrobe your own by wearing clothes a little differently, adding great, unique vintage pieces, or even altering pieces that you already have. Highlight what is special about you! • Wear knee length skirts or longer if you’re petite (unless you feel they work for you). Generally, shorter skirts are more flat tering for this body type. • Except maybe for a special (tight) dress on that special occasion, don’t bother with control garments. They aren’t worth the dis comfort. • Cover up freckles (they're cute!) • Use eyeliner or mascara under your eyes. It’s fresher looking to leave the under eyes bare. • Go without blush. •Use foundation unless you have to-your own bare skin often looks nicer • Take fashion too seriously. It’s meant to be fun! • Call psychic hotlines . • Starve yourself. Honestly, it’s so boring :) Eating isjun! • Leave the tags on your clothing. DO • Try some beautiful and interesting eye shadows this season. Tangerine sorbet, lilac, and sky blue come to mind. • Keep your eyebrows groomed (personal ly I like a thin, high arch) and subtly defined with pencil. If they’re are really thin and you have the bone structure, you can go for a darker, more dramatic line, if you prefer. • Give preppy a go. The color scheme: why navy, or red. The details: cap-sleeved polo shirts with logos or piping, cute piped dresses, white tennis dresses, pleated tennis skirts, plaid everywhere, flat front khakis cut straight or tapered and high on the ankle, and headbands wide or narrow. The effect: devastating. • Try to build a wardrobe around some of your most interesting pieces. Maybe you have a lot of clothes, but can't seem to mix and match them very well. It could be that you're missing some basics that will help to combine your many other pieces. My favorite: short, long, and sleeveless turtle- necks and funnel necks. Also, cardigans, twin sets, knee socks, cute wedge sandals, and a pair of awesome boots. • Wear plaid, plaid, plaid. It's one of my favorite things. •Get a good watch. For a modem, and inexpensive timepiece, you can't beat Swatch. The price allows you to have a lit tle fun and get something unusual. •Try liquid eyeliner in colors other than black. Grey/blue comes to mind. • Buy one expensive piece to pull your wardrobe together (if you can afford it). Either a great purse, fabulous pants that go with everything and make you appear five pounds slimmer, or a gorgeous, seasonless sweater that you’ll always look great in. If it’s well made, it will last longer Just watch the tomato sauce at dinner! • Play up your eyes or hps, but not both. •Curl your eyelashes, girls! • Wear A-hne dresses and skirts. • Use dark, smoldering gray eye shadow if it suits your skin tone. • Do anything, and go anywhere to find a great hairdresser She or he can make all the difference in your appearance. And a note to the budget-conscious: great hair dressers aren't always found in the most expensive salons. The most important thing is to find someone who listens well and can envision the cut that you’re asking for • Experiment with colors that you don’t normally wear. Color gets you noticed. Black, though it’s a wardrobe staple, gets boring! • Get fashion and makeup inspirations wherever you can-people on the street, magazines, your friends, and movies. Think about what seems to work and what doesn’t. • If you exercise, don’t overlook weight lifting and stretching. They can make a huge difference in how you look and feel. And I just read about a study that came out recent ly that found that people who stretched after working out gained 20% more muscle strength than those who don’t.
